Seven people including four children died and 14 suffered injuries after a bus jumped the road divider and hit three vehicles near Dwarka in Gujarat on Saturday evening, police said.
The accident took place around 7:45 pm on National Highway 51 when the bus was heading from Dwarka to Ahmedabad.
It jumped the divider as its driver tried to avoid hitting cattle on the road, and collided with a minivan, a car and a motorcycle coming from the opposite direction, said a local police official.
Of those dead, six people were travelling in the minivan while one was a bus passenger, said police inspector D H Bhatt.
The minivan was on the way from Gandhinagar to Dwarka, and was only a few kilometres from its destination when it met with accident.
“Seven persons have died; four children, two women and a man,” inspector Bhatt said.
Those dead were identified as Hetalben Thakor (25), Tanya (2), Riyansh (3), Vishan (7), Priyanshi (13), Bhavnaben Thakor (35) and Chirag Ranabhai (25).
